Life awaits you on the other side of risk

What can you lose? Face? Dignity? Who cares about those when greatness is possible? Who cares about those when fairy tales are at hand? (Neale Donald Walsh, author)

I was listening to a lady yesterday talk about how she was so against her calling, she told me I knew what my calling was at the age of 14, I knew that I was called for a life in social justice and public speaking but I resisted! For many reasons but it all boiled down to fear! I just couldn't see it happening. How can one live a decent life, pay bills with that calling?

She said to me here's the thing, you have no idea what is possible from wherever you are! Just Move! Just do it! Your greatness is on the other side of that NO!

I sat there listening to this and it so resonated with me! You just never know until you move! take action, take a bold step and the other reason why it resonated so much on that day was that I received a request to facilitate a course and they told me the audience and how high their expectations are of me. I froze! I wanted to back out immediately I told them listen let me think about it and get back to you shortly! That "shortly "was when I received that message! Isn't the Universe awesome, sent me just what I needed just when I needed it and so it will be with the facilitation session!
I will get just what I need when I need it

So what did I learn today?

If you can see clearly how exactly your dream is going to happen, dream bigger! You're playing way to small!
Peace!!

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
